County Reports Sewage Spill at Scott King Road  

 Durham, NC-  August 13, 2014 - Durham County's Utility Division reported approximately 18,000 gallons of sewage spilled from the Scott King Road pump station at 1007 Scott King Road and discharged into a tributary of Northeast Creek. The discharge occurred in the early morning hours of August 13, 2014, due to an electrical storm which damaged the utility power feed, the pump control system, the automatic transfer switch and the emergency generator. Sewage vacuum trucks were used to transport sewage until a diesel pump was installed and connected to the forcemain. Wastewater on the ground surface was pumped back into the collection system, and the area treated with lime.

 The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources was notified of the spill. For more information, call Joe Pearce, utility division manager for the Durham County Department of Engineering and Environmental Services, at (919) 560-9035.
